Wednesday night (or Thursday morning, depending on what time zone you're in) saw the final game of the 2025 preseason for the Dallas Mavericks, which Jason Kidd used as a dress rehearsal against a Los Angeles Lakers team that sat every starter and some depth pieces as well.
The Dallas Mavericks pulled past the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night in an odd Las Vegas “home” game, winning Dallas opted to start the massive line up again with Cooper Flagg at point, along with Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, Klay Thompson, and Dereck Lively.
There were not many bright spots after February 1st last season, but Brandon Williams was one of them. The Mavericks needed warm bodies and some sort of hope, and Williams provided both.
The hype and Buzz are such that everybody and their mother expects the world from Cooper Flagg. The Duke University grad is yet to play a game in the NBA, but the Dallas Mavericks’ No.
The Dallas Mavericks will play their fourth and final game of the preseason on Wednesday night, and it could be a juicy one. They'll be in Las Vegas to play the Los Angeles Lakers in what could be a revenge game if the Lakers decide to play Luka Doncic.
Hakeem The Dream, Clyde The Glide, Magic: The NBA has produced some incredible nicknames over the decades. Some, like Magic and Penny, have even come to largely replace the player's actual name.
With the NBA season approaching, Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has all eyes on him. At the same time, Flagg is being compared to past NBA greats.
In past years, this question was a bit different: who is the second-best Maverick? Luka Doncic existed, so it was pretty obvious. Now, it’s harder to ask who the best Maverick is and who is the second-best Maverick as well?
Cooper Flagg’s first official game in the NBA will be against the San Antonio Spurs on October 23 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. While he has played regular minutes in the Mavericks’ preseason campaign thus far, it will be fair to say that Anthony Davis had an idea of his vast skill set beforehand.
The Dallas Mavericks have been through more turbulence in one calendar year than most franchises experience in five. From a Finals berth to a shocking Play-In exit, from devastating injuries to a draft-night miracle, the Mavs’ recent timeline has felt more like a Hollywood script than an NBA season log.
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford is expected to be a key piece to the frontcourt this season as he learns how to play alongside Anthony Davis. Gafford, 27, is already extended through the 2028-29 season with the Mavs, so they view him as a key part of their future.
The Dallas Mavericks announced on Tuesday evening that they signed head coach Jason Kidd to yet another contract extension, just one season after he signed his last one.
The Dallas Mavericks will be dealing with a few injury woes to start the 2025-26 campaign. Kyrie Irving will be out until the start of the next calendar year, and Daniel Gafford joined him on the sidelines after the shot-blocking big man sprained his ankle on the very first day of training camp.
As of today, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has signed a multiyear extension with the team. Though the exact terms of the deal remain unknown, the deal signals Dallas’ confidence in Kidd’s ability to guide the team through the Western Conference and to the NBA Finals, as he had done in 2024.
Jason Kidd isn’t going anywhere. The Mavericks announced a multiyear contract extension for their head coach, as first reported by Marc Stein of The Stein Line.
The Dallas Mavericks lucked out and won the 2025 NBA Draft lottery which netted them Cooper Flagg. Cooper Flagg looks every bit of a No. 1 overall pick.
Anthony Davis has very little patience for people asking him about playing against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off what many consider the most shocking trade in NBA history earlier this year, as they sent Anthony Davis to the Mavericks for Luka Doncic.
The Dallas Mavericks are fully committed to their guy. Dallas announced in a post to social media on Tuesday that they have officially agreed to a contract extension with head coach Jason Kidd.
New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees recently shared his thoughts on the city’s NBA franchise, the New Orleans Pelicans, and commented on the career trajectory of former Pelican star Anthony Davis.
For their preseason game against the Utah Jazz on Monday, the Dallas Mavericks will be without point guard D'Angelo Russell for rest purposes. In his place, Dallas will look to an unlikely replacement: rookie Cooper Flagg.
